And it said/later for that. <br />Are we not all sardines in the end?<br /><br />I was reading about an experiment they did on caterpillars to see if the butterflies remembered their caterpillar life--where they shock the c again and again every time they expose it to a certain scent.<br />Then the butterflies freak when they are exposed to the scent.<br />I thought about those bio experiments I did in college and sometimes wondered<br />is this an experiment on me and my ethics or lack thereof<br />or is it an experiment on the fish or the mice?<br />I thought of all that when I thought of the &quot;repeat experiment.&quot;<br />And Descartes&#39; argument, wasn&#39;t it D? About the evil genie that might be experimenting on us?<br />And how I&#39;ve always felt that somehow that was the case.<br />But then I was a medical guinea pig as a girl, so maybe that&#39;s why I have these illusions.Nin Andrewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12643167108589844026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-9832104614816560412014-03-08T12:08:34.732-08:002014-03-08T12:08:34.732-08:00You&#39;ve given the fairytale opening the perfect...You&#39;ve given the fairytale opening the perfect twist.<br /><br />They can&#39;t keep themselves from the experiment - the now shrinking again and again.<br /><br />Wooden Boyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01100756913131511440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-83578419788119811762014-03-08T08:31:42.387-08:002014-03-08T08:31:42.387-08:00Wonderful!!!

Things in Indiana seem quite muddled too: a State Highway Patrol car also bears the emblem of the Indianpolis Metropolitan Police Department. But then the cops can do whatever they please. <br /><br />That questioning stare in that kid’s eyes is the wise response. Do I gotta grow up for this?Hazenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13417573435195561519noreply@blogger.com
